Age of Conan

I think WoW's player base will take the bigger hit ever with the AoC's release.

After i played AoC even in open beta with all those bugs when i see now people playing WoW in net cafe i think to myself i lost so much time playing wow for nothing but at least i sold my chars and made some $$$ :)

OP, you have to be kidding me. X Mas time will be all about WAR and WOWLK, AOC will do well then will dip in subs at that time. The amount of people that hate WOW is WAY less then the amount that love it. WAR will be 2-4 times larger then AOC is subs and it won t even get that close to WOW. Bottom line is this game can t run on alot of comps, they made a stupid business move by doing this. 1 Mill beta sign ups isn t going to be close to what WARS will be when it hits or gets close to OB. Anyways i guess you can dream.

Lets wait to see how each game is recieved after a short time :)

 

Doesnt matter if a game can run on a lower end machine - still has to have long term appeal. AoC is more traditional in that way, healthy amount of a bit of everything and plenty of content to sustain a hardcore player. War possibly might be 2-4 times bigger, but I would wait until the world has reset for the 3rd time personally, and thats just my opinion.

Yes but WOW has had and will still have a long term appeal. EQ2 stated they went with higher graphic quality for this very reason i think we can see what happened there. I agree it doesn t matter if it s a WOW killer but i think we have to be reasonable on this assesment/ World resetting will not take away from the appeal  at all to most i m sure. You can say the same thing about AOC and it s pvp which if i remember correctly1) you have to have a rank to attack a BK, 2. Have to wait till owning guild says you can attack , then 3. Can only bring 48 to the fight this will annoy people faster then you think :)

I'm not a fan of WAR or WOW and after playing in closed beta became less of a fan of AOC.

I agree here. I found it a great game at first. Once I leveled twice to 70 I found the constant bombardments of "lol u suck" and "rofl, n00b" from the obnoxious 10-year-olds the reason to quit.

Then you'll be quitting AoC for the same reason. Do you honestly think that this game will have no people like that? Especially if you're paying on a PVP server, then get ready for the Chuck Norris on Global Chat and getting one-shotted by a cloaked ranger who sits on your corpse and says "ROFL nub".

There is no way in hell that a PVP game will ever be a "WoW Killer".  The good thing about WoW was you could choose when to PVP instead of being ganked by some 12 year old thats hanging around the newbie or lowbie areas with his level 324 warrior.

I think a lot of the interest for Conan is sheer boredom from MMO players. WoW's expansion are too far apart and too little content. TR, EQ2, DDO, and whatever are just not great MMO's. They are just run of the mill average that you get tired of after a few months. Conan is just a stop gap for most players till the next WoW expansion and/or Warhammer.

I have hope for TCOS, but they are a small MMO so i try not to get too excited.

i do find it funny everyone speeks of a wow killer, seems i remember a few years back everyone speeking of a eq killer yet eq survives and grows every year.

there will never be a single game to kill wow just like a single game didint lower eq subs  time kills a good game and developers who are throttled by marketers and speculaters.

wow is awsome and always will be for the folks who love it. and the graphics because of being cartoonish will be ageless.

eq will always be considered the all time raiding game  but it grows long in the tooth because developers refuse to just redo game with graphics and new quests for all the old zones.

Aoc will have plenty of folks playing it for years to come as will war when it arrives.

lets face it there is always going to be new kids on the block and they will lead the way to the next wow.

Oh no no... apparently (from what  I've heard on these forums) it's not good.

AoC most servers are PVE. Game designed as PVE (border wars / mini games / Sieges)
I disagree with 100% of what u said.

are you kidding me, the acolytes have been promoting this game since who knows how long.  conan is a gimmick and nothing more, keep your boobies, i'll keep my gameplay.

It certainly killed My WoW account! By Crom! It's almost upon us! :D
